Hey man...forgot to ask you..but why are you taking your CAI out and putting your stock back in?

 

Well to be honest it's really a completely pointless mod..unless you like the looks of it and the "little bit of growl" it adds under the hood. The stock air box on these trucks gets good airflow, so I am putting that back in and purchasing an AmsOil dry filter to put in the box...

Also waiting for the rain to stop falling here in NJ so I can snap those pics for you... and I will take those pictures and i'll use my finger to point the stuff out for yah.

 

Here are the pics I told you I'd get for yah, finally a sunny day 45 degrees but sunny so it was do-able!! Let me know if it makes it easier for you...

Yes yes the engine compartment is dirty...I need to get under there and clean!


This is the bolt the "Z" Bracket mounts too...as you can see it's the LOWEST hole on the head, shine a flashlight there and you'll see which one.

This is the hose that connects to the PCV...use a little bit of silicone spray of some sort (i personally used pb blaster and it worked well) spray it on the nipple and slide it on (it may be tough to slide on)

This is where the hose connects to the TB..same as before spray the nipple up a bit...haha.

Bro....THOSE PICS ARE AWESOME!! i do have question....the lines you have there...are those the black braided ones or are they just the regular ones?

 

Glad I could help! Those are just the standard basic hoses that come w/ the kit. If you want it to look fancy then the braided hoses are nice. The lines aren't under any kind of pressure so it doesn't matter. Just remember after install check it about every 500 miles or so just so you can see how much accumulates. Then you can space it out more of how often you check. I now check mine ever 1500k(ish) just to take a peek...

 

thanks man. The BT oil catch can came in Saturday...I was soooo stoked!! open the box and it had the regular lines. I was bummed. I want it to look neat underneath....now i have to call em tomorrow and let them know. so its staring at me and im fighting the urge to put it in....now ill have to wait another couple of days if not weeks. They were actually pretty fast in delivering though.

 

I bet if you contact them and ask for a refund for whatever it will cost you to buy the hoses you want locally....to save them shipping and hassle they might go for it?

 

The inside diameter of the black braided hoses is just a tad smaller than the other hoses, so be prepared to do a lot of pushing, twisting, pulling, cussing and bleeding to get them on the pcv valve and the tb. I had to stretch mine out overnight to finally get them to fit. Good luck!!
